they have not made the signage foreseen "for the segregated use of the lane" and the slope of the river has not been revegeted nor "embellished" the wall |

Now Murcia has asked in writing to Ballesta and Martínez-Oliva about these works "and the money that has been spent"

The councilor regrets that Ballesta "is not able to meet either in terms of time or content even a project as simple as 2 kilometers of lane along the river"

NOW MURCIA denounces that the project presented by Ballesta in February 2017 for the urban stretch of the river and the one that has been executed resemble "like an egg to a chestnut".

Now Murcia spokeswoman, Alicia Morales, highlights that in the presentation of 13 months ago "the PP presented an almost paradisiacal project, careful and full of vegetation, in addition to announcing its inauguration before the summer of 2017, but the reality is that only They have put the road sign and now, a year later, they are installing the lights. "

Morales wonders if "Mayor Ballesta and his councilors are not embarrassed to continuously announce large virtual projects that, either from the beginning they know they will never execute, or they do not have the capacity to do them. announcements and project presentations are recorded, and then the comparison with reality is bloody and causes blushing. "

Faced with this situation of inadequacy between the project presented and what has been executed, now Murcia has asked in writing about the works "and the money that has been spent on them" to the councilor for Finance and Contracting, Martínez-Oliva, and Mayor Ballesta, coordinator of strategic projects of the City Council.

The mayor recalled that "one of the purposes of the PP was that the lane had a clear segregation for bicycles and pedestrians, foreseeing the adoption of a series of measures: indicative bike lane every 100 meters," alternating the orientation of the drawing " double-directional arrows every 100 meters in the bike lane, and road signs at various points, in fact they have only put a few medallions on the ground that are barely distinguishable, which means that the segregation between pedestrians and bicycles is not taking place ".

Another of the aspects contemplated by the project was the rehabilitation of the six access stairs to the mote between the Manterola and Fica walkways, "but we note that they have not been repaired at all." There are broken steps, including steps on the stairs , and huge dirt of urine on its walls. "

Similarly, "there are sections of the wall dirty and indecent looking, not cleaned for years."

The spokeswoman of Ahora Murcia recalls that, in addition, a landscaping project was then announced, "to revegetate the stretch of the river with native species."

The objective was, as they explained, "to embellish and green the wall with climbing plants, so that it is not so hard, and to revegetate the slope of the river, eliminating the invasive species".

"Some purposes that have remained in the ad, in Photoshop and in the joke of Murcia," says the spokeswoman of Ahora Murcia.

Morales asks Ballesta and Urbamusa, the company in charge of the project, "why they have not carried out the planned actions and in what they have spent the money, when half of the planned things have not been done", and demands that they be carried out, according to the project, "the rehabilitation of the stairs, the installation of signage and the cleaning of walls and invasive vegetation".
